DURHAM, N.C. – For the second time this season, Duke freshman Kelly Chenhas been selected as ACC Freshman of the Week as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.

Chen went 2-1 in singles play at the ITA Indoor Team Championships last weekend. The Cerritos, Calif., native started the tournament with a 1-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-1 win over South Carolina’s Ingrid Gamarra Martins. The highlight of the tournament came in the next match against No. 4 Georgia. With the team score tied at three, Chen beat the Bulldogs’ No. 39 Marta Gonzalez 6-4, 7-6 (7-1) as her multiple aces in the second set tiebreaker led to a raucous Blue Devil celebration.

Chen’s only loss of the weekend came in a three-set battle with North Carolina’s No. 10 Makenna Jones, with Chen falling 6-2, 3-6, 4-6.

Chen is a team-best 18-7 on the season, including 5-1 in dual matches, all on court three. She is 5-6 against nationally ranked opponents. She has also combined with Harris to go 12-5 so far in doubles.
